Wagon Wheel

Lyrics

Darius Rucker

Heading down south to the land of the pinesI'm thumbing my way into North CarolineStaring up the road and pray to God I see headlightsI made it down the coast in seventeen hoursPicking me a bouquet of dogwood flowersAnd I'm a-hopin' for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight

So rock me momma like a wagon wheelRock me momma any way you feelHey, momma rock meRock me momma like the wind and the rainRock me momma like a south bound trainHey, momma rock me

I'm running from the cold up in New EnglandI was born to be a fiddler in an old time string bandMy baby plays a guitar, I pick a banjo nowOh, north country winters keep a-getting me downLost my money playing poker so I had to leave townBut I ain't turning back to living that old life no more

So rock me momma like a wagon wheelRock me momma any way you feelHey, momma rock meHey, rock me momma like the wind and the rainRock me momma like a south bound trainHey, momma rock me

Walkin' to the south out of RoanokeCaught a trucker out of Philly had a nice long tokeBut he's a heading west from the Cumberland gapTo Johnson City, TennesseeAnd I gotta get a move on before the sunI hear my baby calling my name and I know that she's the only oneAnd if I die in Raleigh at least I will die free

So rock me momma like a wagon wheelRock me momma any way you feelHey, momma rock meOh, rock me momma like the wind and the rainRock me momma like a south bound trainHey momma rock me
